PurposeCan small RNA derived from embryos in conditioned embryo culture medium (ECM) influence embryo implantation?MethodsWe employed small RNA sequencing to investigate the expression profiles of transfer RNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA) and …
Study objectivesPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) confers a high risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Here we investigated the effect of OSA on first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle metrics and outcomes in patients with PCOS.MethodsThis…
In this multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized trial, we randomly assigned 992 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with a good prognosis (aged 20-40, ≥3 transferrable cleavage-stage embryos) to strategies of blastocyst-stage (n …
BackgroundHysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States and most are now being performed in a minimally invasive approach. Electrosurgery and vessel sealing devices are needed in order to provide …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) results in approximately 50% of reproductive-age women facing infertility. Currently, no precise model is available to predict successful postoperative pregnancy. METHODS: This study involved 81 patients wit…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) and chronic endometritis (CE) frequently coexist. This study aimed to examine the impact of CE on reproductive outcomes in patients with EMS. METHODS: We enrolled 685 patients with endometriosis-associated i…
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological condition characterized by chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility, affecting ≈176 million women of reproductive age worldwide. Current treatments, including pharmacological and surgical…
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the confines of the uterus and often involves vital organs such as the intestines and urinary system. Endometriosis is consider…
INTRODUCTION: Reproductive endocrine disorders (RED), including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis (EMs), and female infertility (FI), significantly affect women's health globally, with varying prevalence across different regio…

Pregnancy is a highly intricate and delicate process, where inflammation during early stages may lead to pregnancy loss or defective implantation. Melatonin, primarily produced by the pineal gland, exerts several pharmacological effects. N6…
DNA damage is a key factor affecting gametogenesis and embryo development. The integrity and stability of DNA are fundamental to a woman's successful conception, embryonic development, pregnancy and the production of healthy offspring. Agin…
We evaluated the diagnostic performance of a multimodal deep-learning (DL) model for ovarian mass differential diagnosis. This single-center retrospective study included 1,054 ultrasound (US)-detected ovarian tumors (699 benign and 355 mali…
BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC) with deep myometrial invasion (DMI) is critical to deciding whether to perform lymphadenectomy. However, the presence of adenomyosis makes distinguishing DMI from superf…
BACKGROUND: The relationship between genetic immune dysregulation and the occurrence of preeclampsia (PE) or PE with fetal growth restriction (PE with FGR) has yielded inconsistent findings, and the underlying mediators of this association …
Hypertriglyceridemia is a common cause of acute pancreatitis (AP). Fatty liver, a manifestation of metabolic syndrome, is related to the severity of AP. The present study aimed to construct an accurate predictive model for severe AP (SAP) b…
